The average CO2 emission of a new car in 2016 is 112 gram per kilometer.

A car produces an average of 4 tonnes of CO2 per year. If you buy a new car, consider a cheap car. This helps you get the climate and it’s good for your wallet. You can drive climate neutral by compensating your mileage.

Tip: If you do not know the fuel consumption of your car, you can use these estimate: small car 20km / l, average car 12km / l, large car 8km / l.

Scientists Have Figured Out How to Turn CO2 Into Solid Rock Within Months

This could change everything.

PETER DOCKRILL 10 JUN 2016

When it comes to dealing with human-caused carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, one of the more ambitious but still largely unproven fixes could be carbon capture, which sucks CO2 out of the atmosphere or from industrial plants.

Two of the biggest problems with carbon capture have been its cost, and finding ways to efficiently store or repurpose the CO2 once it’s been extracted. But now a new technique could drastically overhaul this method of mitigating climate change: turning carbon emissions into solid rock.

An international team of scientists working in Iceland has successfully demonstrated that CO2 emissions can be pumped underground and altered chemically to form solid stone. While storing carbon in the earth is not a new thing, nobody ever expected the process to work this quickly or efficiently.
